It shows the person have some sort of an accident/mishap turning their scooter, take a tumble, and then pick themselves, their scooter, and apparently their helmet back up. Honestly the person does indeed appear to be Yoongi; the body proportions and movements remind me of him. And yea what is shown with the fall differs from what reports having been saying.

It appears from the footage as though “Yoongi” did not actually collapse, but rather took an awkward maneuver on his scooter, which caused him to tumble off of it. “Yoongi” then used his arms to catch himself after the tumble and support his body above the ground. He didn’t collapse at all, nor did his full body make contact with the ground. And instead of police helping “Yoongi” up, “Yoongi” quickly picked himself up- AFTER which he was approached by police.

And instead of being directly in front of any particular residence, it appears that “Yoongi” was at the gate or entrance to a community at the time of the incident. And if he began his scooter trip at the place first visible in the footage, it does appear that “Yoongi” drove quite a short distance to get to the gate, similar to what BigHit had claimed in their apology- certainly not kilometers. However, had “Yoongi” actually made it home before falling and being stopped at the gate, he likely would have driven a further distance.

I also noticed from the footage that “Yoongi” didn’t appear to be traveling on the road with cars or crossing any intersections, but drove on the sidewalk with pedestrians.

This has been going on for a few days now. To the point that they even brought up M00nbin, another idol who was a close friend of his, that died last year.

All because that warning is LEGALLY REQUIRED to be placed on all alcohol ads.

Regarding the CCTV footage, the very first clip JTBC shared is for sure not YG. The second one shared by JTBC could maybe be him, because of the second clip in that video with the patrolling officers, because it's the same number of cops in the footage that was shared by Donga Ilbo.

The newest footage has an air of "Dang I almost got away with it". To me, it looks like he almost whacks into a pedestrian that he passes.

The footage is also kind of... goofy looking. He looks like this drunken dork riding down the sidewalk on a scooter that's way too small for him.

At least he wasn't on the street. It's hard to say if the fall was due to drunkenness or the sharp turn or both. The route confirmed was the 500m as stated in YG's apology statements. His BAC was yet again confirmed by police and was in fact 0.227%. Police also confirmed he had multiple drinks (at dinner) then drank again at his studio, before heading home. And according to police, the reason he lied was to avoid criminal charges. I mean, everybody lies to try avoiding trouble, but that always makes more trouble.

I don't think it'll be a slap on the wrist. Just the vibe I get from the statement made by police.

I didn’t see where he almost hit a pedestrian, or any pedestrian looking perturbed in any way- shockingly. But like you said, the very first clip put out was clearly not Yoongi. Also the newest footage does look as though he almost got away with it- which is scary (and he’s probably done thus many times before). The police seemed rather uninterested in Yoongi until he took that tumble. Then they apparently approached to make sure he was ok, smelled alcohol, and well, the rest is history. And yes, he probably won’t receive a very severe punishment.

DongA Ilbo on August 14 released a new CCTV footage that claimed the person in it was Suga, and not in the one shared by JTBC on August 7. It also shared conflicting details between the two videos. BIGHIT MUSIC later confirmed that the person in DongA Ilbo's video, was BTS member Suga, Korean...

BH confirmed it's him in that footage.

I thought it looked like him. And apparently both Suga and Bighit has been honest in their apologies.

 

[theartbook35]

So here's the thing: The CCTV footage makes it look less serious. Which is good. He's certainly not in danger of being run over or causing a car accident.

However, there's the issue of riding on the sidewalk. That is illegal. However, the penalty for riding on the sidewalk is less than riding on the road. He really wasn't parking in front of his home. Like he kinda was, but not really. He was still on public property. That matters to the police.

There's still the issue of him lying about how much he drank. But everyone lies to avoid getting in trouble. So I kinda don't care that much about that, given the new perspective.

Yes Suga certainly did break the law and took some wrong actions, but he’s unlikely to face a severe punishment. He messed up, but the situation has been largely overblown.

Oh yeah, I've seen people do far worser things than this.

There was way too much “media play” with this thing.

"Drunk Driving" BTS's Suga, Neglecting Duty Was Real?…"Embarrassed the Instructor by Falling Asleep"

BTS's Suga Faces Renewed Scrutiny Over Allegations of Neglecting Military Duty Amid Drunk Driving Accusations

So the complaint about YG's behavior was apparently made in November of last year, on an app. The timing is very interesting to me, because it gives legitimacy to the complaint.

Guy who made it is also mad it was shared. Like, why did you share it then?

 

[theartbook35]

Here's a better article about it: https://www.allkpop.com/article/2024/08/media-outlet-reports-about-a-social-service-worker-claiming-that-suga-had-a-lackadaisical-attitude-towards-his-responsibilities

If this is true, it doesn't make him look good at all.

I don't really get that vibe... But regardless, anyone, even with predominantly good behavior, can screw up and have bad behavior too.

The AYS show is literally a J!k00k fanservice, nothing more, nothing less. I'm sick of those two together honestly. And I don't even get why the label pushes that pairing, considering that T@ek00k are actually the most popular ship. Why push the ship that's most popular, where the money will be?

That's not something I'd say to even my closest friends. It's really not funny.
